What happened
Governor Josh Stein has released a ten-year economic recovery plan for Western North Carolina. The plan was unveiled on September 23, 2026, and was developed with input from 28 counties, the Qualla Boundary, five regional councils of government, chambers of commerce, and economic development organizations. The framework aims to guide the region's long-term rebuilding and growth after Hurricane Helene.

Why it matters
The plan addresses the need to rebuild an economy that is stronger and more diversified than the state of North Carolina experienced before the storm. It acknowledges that the region faced significant challenges, including the loss of manufacturing jobs, and must address these vulnerabilities for a full recovery.
Josh Stein had previously urged funding for hurricane recovery efforts across North Carolina.
